Speaking of this, Xiao Yao's eyes were full of gratitude for Zhen Ni's father. After calming down his emotions, he thought about it and then continued: "I asked not to let outsiders know that we are affiliated families of the Zhen family; no longer asking for other favors from the Zhen family is also the common decision of Xiao Li and Xiao Long.

It’s not that we want to get rid of the Zhen family, but because we don’t want to live in the protection of the Zhen family as a sub-level family forever. We want to embark on a path of self-improvement and prosperity ourselves.

I have confessed this to the head of the family. I told the head of the family that I want to lead the Xiao clan to rise with my own abilities..."

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "At that time, I was hailed as the number one genius in the imperial state, and I was very arrogant."

When I just broke through to the late stage of four stars, the head of the family sent someone to send a seven-star inner armor in his private name, but I refused. I felt that I had the ability to break through to the five-star by myself.

However, the road to self-improvement is so difficult. Just as I was making the final preparations to overcome the Five-Star Emperor Tribulation, I accidentally got the soul-devouring mark of the Soul Demon Clan... I don't know if it was the Soul Demon Clan who knew that we were the affiliated family of the Zhen family deliberately targeted, or it was purely accidental. In short, my road to self-improvement was broken like this..."

'You all know what's next. So, there is nothing wrong with the Zhen family in which the Zhen family is wrong. It can only be said that the strength of the Xiao family determines that the Xiao family's status in the Zhen family cannot be high, and the people of the Xiao family are unlikely to be respected enough by the Zhen family. However, I think that in the Doudi Continent, where strength is respected, the Zhen family is not wrong."

‘So that’s how it is.’ Only then did everyone fully understand the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Zhen family, and they had some understanding of the Zhen family’s attitude towards the Xiao clan.

Qing Haoran sighed: 'Yes, strength, everything depends on strength. Miss Zhen Ni, the second thing I need to know is to ask you. Although your father has not had a good relationship with your uncle for some reasons over the years and has a bit of a relationship with you, the Xiao Mansion has a major relationship with Shangmeng and Miss Zhen Ni. I don't believe he didn't pay attention to the Xiao Mansion. What I need to know is how much he knows about the Xiao Mansion? In other words, have your uncle and you talked to your father or revealed the inside story of the Xiao Mansion?"

When Qing Haoran told her about the emotional barrier between her and her father, Zhen Ni's expression was a little gloomy, but when Qing Haoran asked her if she had revealed the inside story of the Xiao Mansion to her father, Zhen Ni's face immediately turned red. She calmed down and nodded, saying, 'I revealed to my uncle. In order to obtain the prescription for Qingling Liquid, the Shang League went out of the mansion to help Xiao Yan establish the Xiao Mansion and became an ally with the Xiao Mansion. My father was very surprised and thought that it was just for some money. He thought that the uncle was too... too condescending and did not understand why he did this. Maybe it was because of this, maybe... maybe... maybe there was also my reason for being in the Xiao Mansion, that he was particularly concerned about the development of the Xiao Mansion. As for me, I intended to reveal some things about the Xiao Mansion to my uncle, with the purpose of conveying it to my father through the uncle's oral to improve the Xiao Mansion's status in my father's mind."

After hearing this, everyone didn't know that Zhen Ni did this for her father to recognize Xiao Yan? They all cast meaningful gazes at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was moved in his heart, moved by Zhen Ni's good intentions, but when he thought of Zhen Jian's incident, all Zhen Ni's efforts were wasted, and he couldn't help but throw a sorry look at Zhen Ni.

Zhen Ni gave Xiao Yan a comforting smile, turned to Qing Haoran and asked nervously: 'Demon King, you know two things you need to know, what decision will you make?"

Qing Haoran seemed to be deliberately trying to make Zhen Ni anxious. He did not answer Zhen Ni immediately, but sighed, "Miss Zhen Ni's intention is really good," and then turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yan with deep meaning, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at Zhen Ni who was anxious again, and said with a smile: "If I were your father, I would not only not take any measures that would be unfavorable to the Xiao Mansion, but instead would throw an olive branch to Xiao Yan, and even give Xiao Mansion some benefits to try to win over Xiao Yan."

'ah!"

Everyone was surprised, surprised, and suspicious. Zhen Ni was even more overjoyed and asked with joyful eyes: ‘Really? My father really won’t take his anger on Xiao’s Mansion?”

Qing Haoran shook his head with a smile on his face and said funny: 'I completely understand what care is, it's messy. Miss Zhen Ni, with your intelligence, your understanding of your father, and your judgment, you shouldn't be unable to make this judgment! You are just worried about someone too much, your heart is messy..."

Zhen Ni's face turned red into the most beautiful clouds. Her head was lowered and she didn't dare to look directly at Qing Haoran. She glanced at Xiao Yan and then calmed down and raised her head, and said softly: 'Dog Emperor, don't make fun of Zhen Ni. Zhen Ni's mind is a little confused. Please ask the Demon Emperor to solve the problem for Zhen Ni."

'Oh, a woman in love is really stupid...'Qing Haoran sighed in his heart, thought for a while, and said, 'The deposed Zhen Jian is indeed a great loss for the Zhen family. However, the Xiao clan is an affiliated family of the Zhen family. Now there is a peerless genius in the Xiao clan. Moreover, this peerless genius is more outstanding and dazzling than Zhen Jian. He is definitely the well-deserved first genius under the Five-Star Dou Emperor. Although this peerless genius is not surnamed Zhen, it is affiliated with the Zhen family. In other words, Xiao Yan's deposed Zhen Jian is another peerless genius in the Zhen family. You said, if you were your father, would you fight against the Xiao family and kill Xiao Yan for the deposed Zhen Jian because of your anger?"

Zhen Ni was enlightened and her eyes lit up: Yes, the Xiao clan is an affiliated family of the Zhen family, and then Xiao Yan is the peerless genius of the Zhen family! Why didn’t I consider this?

Seeing Zhen Ni, Xiao Yao and everyone were suddenly showing joy, but Xiao Yan didn't agree with it, Qing Haoran continued: "With your father's shrewdness, after knowing the rapid development of the Xiao Mansion, it is impossible to imagine that the Xiao tribe will develop into a big force sooner or later. Any weak family, after having the strength to compete with the big forces affiliated with, will be independent of the big forces affiliated with that big force. Such examples are numerous in the Doudi Continent. Since you do not take revenge against the Xiao Mansion, your father will deal with it after the Xiao tribe develops into a big force.

Did the Xiao clan show good? Qing Haoran's tone suddenly became stronger, 'No! He knew too much about the difference between adding icing on the cake and helping him in time. Therefore, no matter how low the Xiao clan's status in the eyes of the Zhen family in the past, he would pay special attention to the Xiao clan in order to win over the Xiao clan and Xiao Yanyan. He would definitely show goodwill to the Xiao clan when the Xiao clan was still in the process of development, and even give some support to the Xiao clan! And now, it is this time, and Xiao Yan has deposed Zhen Jian. He does not pursue the Xiao clan, but instead shows goodwill to the Xiao clan. It is hard for the Xiao clan to not accept it!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! ‘Wow!”

Everyone was overjoyed, and Qing Muer jumped up even more happily: 'So, the little liar is using Zhen Jian and is using it? Brother, what kind of support will the Zhen family give to the Xiao clan?"

Qing Haoran smiled unhappily and said, "How can I know this? However, it should be what the Xiao clan needs most at the moment. It doesn't make sense for them to give it to them if the Xiao clan doesn't need it."

What the Xiao clan needs most at present? What does the Xiao clan need now? It seems that there is nothing short of it!

Without worry, Zhen Ni regained her shrewdness. Her eyes moved and she blurted out: ‘Local? A good land?”

Everyone's eyes were bright, and Xiao Yan was also moved. Yes, what the Xiao clan needs most at present is a good territorial area.

Le Shaolong said ecstaticly: ‘Haha, bad things have turned into good things, and in this way, the rise of the Xiao clan will be faster!’ But when he saw that Xiao Yan was not happy, he immediately understood what Xiao Yan was worried about, and he couldn’t help but worry, ‘But there is no free lunch in the world. The Zhen family gave the Xiao clan these benefits, and they will definitely ask the Xiao clan to disclose the identity of the Zhen clan’s affiliated family and have certain constraints on the Xiao clan. It will be difficult for the Xiao clan to be as independent as before. I am worried that Young Master Xiao may not be happy.”

Le Shaolong's words made everyone turn their attention to Xiao Yan.

Zhen Ni was even more happy and then secretly sweated. She understood Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan seemed easy-going and even a little dull, but she was extremely stubborn by nature and had no sense of belonging to the Zhen family. If Xiao Yan believed that this was another form of threat from the Zhen family and refused to accept it, the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Zhen family would be directly facing a breakdown, and the possibility of her getting together with Xiao Yan would become extremely slim. She was very afraid that Xiao Yan would say no. But she did not show any expectations in her expression. She knew that Xiao Yan must be very entangled at this time. She hoped that Xiao Yan could make a decision after careful thinking and weighing. At the same time, she also wanted to see how heavy she was in Xiao Yan's heart.

I have to say that Zhen Ni really knows Xiao Yan very well. Xiao Yan is indeed in extreme entanglement at this time, and it is almost exactly the same as Zhen Ni thinks--

‘If the Zhen family gives me an olive branch, it seems to be helpful to the rise of the Xiao clan, but in fact it is a disguised threat. Using the Zhen Jian incident to threaten us to always exist as an affiliated family of the Zhen family.

'But I don't have any sense of belonging to the Zhen family. If it weren't for Zhen Ni, I even felt that I had nothing to do with the Zhen family. Why should I rely on the Zhen family? Just because I was afraid that if I didn't accept it, I would refute the face of the Zhen family. Will the head of the Zhen family meet with the Xiao family in anger? Damn, is I Xiao Yan a person who is afraid of trouble? As long as the Xiao family has a period of development, who is afraid of whom will not know!

‘But…If I don’t accept it, Zhen Ni’s father will definitely hate me so much. It will be difficult for Zhen Ni and I to get together. I will be disappointed to have Zhen Ni’s affection for me…How should I make a decision?”

After a long time, Xiao Yan did not make a decision. He raised his eyes with difficulty and asked weakly: 'I want to ask everyone to help me analyze. What will happen if I refuse the olive branch offered by the Zhen family?"

Zhen Ni said intimately, "Sure enough," and her heart suddenly tightened.

Qing Haoran immediately answered: 'I think Zhen Zongfu will definitely feel that he is shameless. To put it bluntly, he will think that you are shameless and will definitely get angry. But he will not be able to fight against the Xiao clan. After all, it will be very ugly to say that if you win over the war, it will be difficult to say it out. Moreover, Zhen Bufan, the leader of the Shang League, will definitely mediate for you, and Miss Zhen Ni is also in the Xiao Mansion."

Zhen Ni shook her head bitterly, 'I can't play much role or not here. At most, it's the smallest factor that my father would consider.'She hugged her arms nervously, tapping her jade fingers gently, and thinking, 'However, what the Demon Emperor said makes sense, and it shouldn't be very likely to attack the Xiao Mansion, but my father will definitely put forward conditions to ask me to completely break away from the Xiao Mansion and go back to the Shang Alliance, and then cut off all contacts with the Xiao Mansion..."
